The subjects of this research were 20 students at XI IPA of SMA Kolombo Sleman Yogyakarta in the academic year of 2013/2014. The data were collected through observation of the teaching and learning process in the class and some interviews with some students of grade XI IPA and the English teacher. The data were in the forms of field notes, interview transcripts, and students’ writing scores. The data validity was obtained through democratic validity, process validity, outcome validity, dialogic validity, catalytic validity and content validity.

By applying picture-series media, some of the students’ problems in writing were solved. The researcher also found that the students’ motivation in learning writing increased. Those findings were strengthened by the improvement of the students’ writing scores in the pre-test, post-test 1 and post-test 2. The students’ mean score in the pre-test was 56.75, while their mean score in the post-test 1 was 63.85. After conducting Cycle 2, the students’ mean score became 77.275. In conclusion, the use of picture-series as the media in the teaching and learning process can improve writing skills of grade XI IPA students at SMA Kolombo Sleman Yogyakarta.
